Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

Boot speed only matters when you can't trust hibernation.

See? I can troll too!

And I can feed trolls.

I don't trust hibernation on any system. My Vista machine doesn't wake up correctly from hibernation -- something goes bad-wrong, the display is garbaged, and it doesn't respond to the keybaord or mouse. I also managed to kernel-panic OS X 10.2 by hibernating while playing music in iTunes (and I haven't used OS X much since then).
And it doesn't really matter -- at least, not for me. Almost all my system usage sessions are long enough that an extra, say 30 seconds to do a cold-boot versus resume from hibernation are pretty quickly swamped by the total usage time.

Suspend and Hibernate both work without a hitch on my Dell Mini 10v.

They also work flawlessly on my older Compaq Presario, although I had to enable KMS.

Good for you because, in general, Suspend/Hibernate are a crap shoot under Ubuntu:
